The select congressional commit
tee appointed to inquire into the
causes and extent of the western rail-
road strikes last year formulated
this wise conclusion: THAT any
body of laborers have perfect right
to strike for better wages or an amel-
ioration of their condition, but they
have no right to coerce other men to
follow their example or to obstruct
the employer in employing other men
in this country to do the work.

m Judgement, in a measure, of rail
roads, a great power will be arraign-
ed against any proposed measures or
reforms which have to do with the
great monopolies which almost con-
troll the affairs of the country. We
hope much good may come from the
enforcement of the law, but we fear
the reform will be more a thing of
theory than real good.

The fishery troubles seem to annoy
the present administration very much
indeed. 1t simply shows that the
parties in control of the government
at present are hedged in between two
fires and have not the courage to free
themselves, nor principle enough to
stand before the country upon the
platform on which they were elected.
We saw Be an out and out demo-
crat; and say, under the principles
of free trade, to the British Lion,
"Good fellow" Anything but an
administration of words for the
American people. But there is one
man in this country with whom the
British Lion would not attempt to
play. That man is James G.
Blaine. Were he only in power (as
we believe he will be next term)
that old beast would do something
else besides wagging his tail.-Er.
The amendment offered by Mr..
Edmunds to the legislative appro-
priation bill giving $4,000 to the bu-
reau of labor for the collection of
statistics of marriage and divorce
throughout the country was adopted
and is now a law. In the hands of
the experienced commissioner, Hon.
Carroll ID. Wright, with all admira-
bly, organized force for such work,
the country may look for a report OF
great value containing information
absolutely essential to wise discussion
on the subject. 1t is but his due to
add that Mr.. Edmunds was the first
among members of congress to see
the Importance of this particular step
and has steadily urged and watched
it in the senate. Congressman Stew
art and Circuit in the last congress
and Judge Poland in the previous
congress also rendered efficient sup

In spite of many denials, reports
continue to come of terrible and dis
astrous loss of cattle on the far
northwestern ranges this winter. If
the reports prove to be true, the loss
es and the dreadful suffering and
sacrifice of animal life may not be
without compensation, for the belief
is expressed that this will be a turn
ing point in the history of cattle
raising on the plains, and that the
system of leaving stock to ''rustle"
for a living will give way to stock
farming. Many of the territorial pa
pers are already urging a change in
the system of raising, both on the
ground of pecuniary policy and of
policy and of humanity to the stock

the substance of which is that he
thinks Russia is not vet prepared for
a constitutional government, but in
timating that he will be happy to
grant it when territorial expansion
has reached the limit set for it by

tate such great expense for prOtec-

IMPORTATION OF EGGS.

In 1876 the United States imported about
five million dozen of eggs, but in lSS5 the
quantity had increased to sixteen million doz-
en-, representing money value Of two and a
half millions Of dollars. every penny OF which
had to nv paid in gold coin. At this rate of
increase we should pay to foreign countries
during fifty wears. for the single item of eggs,
an amount more than equal to the present ma
tiOnal debt But the importation of eggs must
very soon cease. The discovery Of Sheridan's
Powder TO make hens lay, has already in
creased the supply of eggs to Il very appre-
ciable extent, and il seems safe to assume that
the continued use of this Powd@r will double
the egg product within five wears. Nv the
persistent and intelligent use of Sheriddns
Powder hens are made 10 lay nearly the en-
tire wear and especially during the season
when eggs bring the highest price. This fact
has encouraged thousands OF people to 90 into
the business who would not otherwise have
done so. Ii is not necessary to have a farm to
keep hens on. a> many suppose. Hens may be
kept conveniently and profitably in large and
crowded city. In fact the whole business of

1t is not often write for the paper, but
when such outrages are perpetrated upon
quiet inoffensive people as took place here

by the Recommendations of bells, followed by
blast after blast of horns and music Of
still richer nature producing one grand eff
feet. The people rushed into the streets to
learn The cause, but upon being informed IT
was only the High school boys out on
moonlight ride the excitement subsidized and
nothing more was tn; ught Of it until next
morning when the real motives of the lads
were discovered. 1t seems they kept up
their march through the village until they
got in front of poor old Uncle Albert's
house, when their youthful spirits overlooked.
They entered his peaceful home and without
a moments warning gave the aged pair an
awfM pounding The first blow was made
with barrel of -four, followed by blow af-

nevertheless they materially told upon them
in their infirm and aged condition. Being
